Besides the ordinary appropri
atoms of s209,000.0oO, the extra,
ordinary appropriations which
have passed one or both Honses of
Congress at this session, aggregat e
s161, 100000. The object and the
effect of this policy are not only to
use up the present surplus, but to
prevent the accumulation of any
surplus in the future, aud
thus avoid a reduction of taxation.
Continuing appropria' ions means a
perpetuation of the war taxes
And this is what this proAigate
Congress seems bent npon securing.

Ruins Blodgett. a distinguished
Democrat, was elected to the United
States Senate last week by the Leg
islature of New Jersey in the place
of Senator SewelI, the present in
cumbent, who is a Republican,
Gov. Albeit was the Democratic
caucus nominee, but four Demo
Gratis refused to support him and
the Republicans united with them
in electing Blodgett. While we
do not approve of an election
brought about in that way, we can
not refrain from rejoicing over the
fact that the Republican majority
in the Senate is gradually but
surely changing to minority
In 1889 that body will certainly
be Democratic.

COLERAIN.

To our friends merry Christmas and hap.
lpy New Year greeting.
Last Saturday was pay day at the mines;
the saloons at Maynard did an immense bu-
siness.
Some persons have been interfering with the
management of the post office at Kidd; it is
probable they will have an opportunity of re-
ceiving their mail at some of the neighboring
offices, which will be very inconverient, and
cause an immense lot of grumbling.
A number of Christmas trees bloom at pri>
vate residences and at several churches in
this township.
Mr. Alex France, station agent at Barton,
forgot to hang up his stocking, but that new
boy came all the same, and was admitted into
the family. Their many friends wish them
many happy returns of the season.
A portion of the large platform at Barton
station, has been removed, and the way neat
ly paved with cobble.
Mr. VIM Tomlinson, of Mt Pleasant, will
be salesman for Kidd Bros.
Miss Ruth Major recently returned home
from Wichita, Kans; she was not very well
taken with the country.
The coal mines all have an immense pros
pect for business.
The school at Kidd, taught by Mrs Mattie
Wiley, closed for the holidays last Friday,
with an examination and paper read at the
close of the performance. Old Santa Claus
made his appearance, and treated the children
all very literally to candies and nuts.
The venerable Josiah Watson has lived to
enjoy his 90th Christmas-he having passed
his Goth milestone last Friday. He retains
in remarkable degree the full vigor OF man
hood; his step is elastic, and he enjoys walk
of several miles; he still transacts his own
private business and may live to celebrate the
year 1900.
Two of Uncle Sans detectives visited the
postoffice at Maynard last week. Some per-
sons have been using the mail for obscene
publications The Postmaster, Mr. John Will
kins, is an accomplished gentleman, and gives
entire satifaction; none Of the suspicion rests
on him.
1t is posted on Madam RumOr's budget TINT
Kidd Bros. will start large store at Kidd's
station. COUNTRY COUSIN.
